1. INTRODUCTION
Although zakat is crucial for reducing poverty and boosting the economy, it has not
always been raised in an efficient manner[1]–[3]. As essential part of Islamic law, Zakat
must be managed institutionally in accordance with sharia. The management includes
planning, implementing, and coordinating activities in the collection, distribution, and
utilization of zakat[3]. Considering that zakat is so important and an obligation for
Muslims, to perfect Islamic law, the government pays attention by establishing Law

2. METOD
The normative juridical approach is carried out by examining library materials which are
secondary data. The method of approaching legal principles will be one of the ways
in normative juridical research. Research specifications use descriptive analytics, which
the researcher in analyzing, and wants to provide an overview or exposure to the subject
and object of research as the results of the research he conducted. [10] After the data
is collected properly, the secondary data and primary data will then be analyzed using
qualitative analysis methods. Qualitative analysis methods are research procedures that
produce descriptive data of analysis, that is, what is stated by the research objectives
concerned in writing or orally, and real behavior.[11]
3. DISCUSSION
3.1. The Concept of Safe Zakat Fitrah Management according to
the provisions of laws and regulations
Provincial Baznas was formed by the Minister on the proposal of the governor
after receiving baznas consideration. Provincial Baznas is accountable to Baznas and
provincial governments. Meanwhile, the Regency/City Baznas is formed by the Direc-
tor General who has duties and functions in the field of zakat in the ministry that
organizes government affairs in the field of religion on the proposal of the Regent/
Mayor after receiving baznas consideration. District/city baznas are responsible to the
Provincial Baznas and the district/city local government and all of them carry out their
duties and functions at the local level in accordance with baznas policy. Baznas at the
national, provincial, and regency/city levels can form Zakat Management Units (UPZ)
at government agencies, state-owned enterprises, regional-owned enterprises, private
companies, and representatives of the Republic of Indonesia abroad as well as at the
sub-district, or other names level, and other places.[13]
To assist Baznas in the implementation of the collection, distribution, and utilization of
zakat, the community can form the Amil Zakat Institution (LAZ). LAZ is obliged to report
on the implementation of the collection, distribution, and utilization of audited zakat to
Baznas on a regular basis.[1] The establishment of the LAZ must obtain the permission
of the Minister, or an official appointed by the Minister. Permission is only granted if it
meets the requirements of at least the requirements as generally specified in Article
19 of Law Number 23 of 2011 concerning Zakat Management. And it is regulated more
technically in Government Regulations:
Zakat management activities can be known as stipulated in Law Number 23 of
2011 concerning Zakat Management Jo. Government Regulation of the Republic of
Indonesia Number 14 of 2014 concerning the Implementation of Law Number 23 of 2011
concerning Zakat Management Jo. Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation Number 52
of 2014 concerning Terms and Procedures for Calculating Zakat Mal and Zakat Fitrah
and Utilizing Zakat for Productive Business. [14]
Operationally and functionally zakat management can be explained in detail, includ-
ing related to planning, implementing, controlling, and supervising:[15]
Zakat management requires zakat managers who are professional, have competence
and commitment in accordance with the activities carried out. relating to the criteria for
implementing zakat and the criteria for leaders of Amil Zakat Agencies /Institutions. [15]
Determination of criteria for the implementation of zakat:[13]
1. Muslim. Zakat is a very important affair in Islam and belongs to the pillars of Islam
therefore this matter must be taken care of by a Muslim.
2. Mukallaf is a mature Muslim who is sensible in mind and is ready to accept the
responsibility of taking care of the affairs of the people.
3. Have a trustworthy or honest nature. This trait is very important because it relates
to the beliefs of the people.
4. Understand and understand the laws of zakat which causes him to be able to
socialize everything related to zakat to the community.
5. Could carry out tasks to the best of their ability. Amil zakat’s sincerity in carrying
out his duties. A good amil zakat is amil zakat that is full-time in carrying out its
duties, not perfunctory, and not part-time.
In extracting the source of zakat, Amil must be good at socializing zakat, both through
mass media, print media, and electronic media in the community with the aim that the
public will grow their awareness of the importance of zakat worship.[16] In exploring the
sources of zakat there are strategies including.
1. Establishment of zakat collection units. This is done to make it easier for zakat
managers to reach and make it easier for muzakki to pay their zakat, so each Amil
Zakat Agency opens zakat collection units in various places according to their
level.[17]
3. Opening a bank account. what needs to be noted here is that opening an account
must be separated between each account, so that it will make it easier for muzakki
in sending zakat.[19]
4. Zakat supervision
measures to ensure that all resources of the Agency or LAZ have been used as
effectively and efficiently as possible in order to achieve the objectives of the Agency
or LAZ. [21] Managerially, zakat supervision is to measure and improve the performance
of amil zakat to ensure that the Institution or Agency of Amil Zakat at all levels and all
that has been designed to achieve it has been implemented.[22]
Meanwhile, zakat management activities can be known as stipulated in Law Number
23 of 2011 concerning Zakat Management Jo. Government Regulation of the Republic
of Indonesia Number 14 of 2014 concerning the Implementation of Law Number 23 of
2011 concerning Zakat Management Jo. Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation Number
52 of 2014 concerning Terms and Procedures for Calculating Zakat Mal and Zakat Fitrah
and Utilizing Zakat for Productive Business.
1. Zakat Collection
To collect zakat, Muzaki made his own calculation of his zakat obligations. [23] If
Muzaki cannot calculate his own zakat obligations, then Muzaki can ask Baznas for
help. Zakat paid by Muzaki to BAZNAS or LAZ is deducted from taxable income. After
that, Baznas or LAZ is obliged to provide proof of zakat deposit to each Muzaki. Proof
of zakat deposit as referred to will be used as a deduction for taxable income. The
collection of zakat through Baznas in each level can be done directly to the means
that have been provided by Baznas and / or by means of forming a UPZ. Baznas can
form a UPZ on State Institutions; Ministries / Non-Ministerial Government Agencies;
State-Owned Enterprises; National And Foreign Private Companies; Representative of
the Republic of Indonesia Abroad; Offices of Representatives of Foreign States/Foreign
Institutions; and State Mosques.
Provincial Baznas is authorized to collect zakat by forming a UPZ at the Vertical
Agency Office; Office of the Regional Apparatus Work Unit / Provincial Regional Insti-
tutions; Provincially Owned Enterprises; Provincial Scale Private Enterprises; College;
and the Grand Mosque. Baznas is authorized to collect zakat by forming a UPZ at
the Office of the Regional Government Work Unit / District / City Regional Institu-
tions; District/City Level Vertical Agency Office; Regency/City Owned Enterprises; Dis-
trict/City Scale Private Enterprises; Mosque, Mushalla, Langgar, Surau Or Other Names;
Schools/Madrasahs And Other Educational Institutions; Subdistrict Or Other Name; And
Villages/Villages Or Other Names.
1. Zakat Distribution
The collected zakat must be distributed to Mustahik in accordance with Islamic law
and is carried out based on a priority scale by considering the principles of equality,
justice, and territoriality. [24] The distribution of zakat is carried out in the fields of:
1. Education, provided in the direct and indirect forms and aimed at meeting the
needs of short-term mustahik Education.
Mustahik there are eight asnaf as found in the Quran surah At-Taubah Verse 60. The
Mustahiks who are entitled to get or receive zakat are as follows: [16]
2. Poor, are people who have harta, but cannot suffice daily life according to standard
(substandard) measures.
3. Amil, a person who works to manage zakat, either has another job or just manages
it;
4. Muallaf, is a person who is softened in his heart, or a person who has just converted
to Islam. They were still considered nausealaf for a period of two years.
5. Riqab, were those slaves who did not have the freedom to live freely but under
the rule of others (masters). Then he was entitled to the property of zakat to free
himself from the shackles of slavery.
6. Gharimin, are those who have debts for certain causes and are considered unable
to pay them, for example, in debt because they have been ill for too long, so that
they cannot try, even seek treatment, thus leaving debts.
7. Sabilillah, is a person who struggles to uphold the religion of God, through various
containers, whether educational, such as Madrasah or Pesantren which is essential
for the purposes of establishing the religion of God.
8. Ibn Sabil, are those who travel to proselytize the religion of Allah or for the
establishment of the laws and sharia of Allah.
9. Utilization of Zakat
Zakat utilization is a form of optimal use of zakat without reducing its value and
usefulness in the form of productive business so that it is effective in achieving general
benefits. [25] Zakat can be used for productive business in the context of handling
the poor and improving the quality of the people. The utilization of zakat for productive
business as referred to is carried out if the basic needs of Mustahik have been met; com-
ply with sharia provisions; generate economic added value for mustahik; and Mustahik
is domiciled in the working area of the zakat management institution. The utilization
of zakat for productive business can be carried out at least meet the conditions: the
beneficiaries are individuals or groups that meet the mustahik criteria; and received
assistance from amil zakat who was in the mustahik domicile area.
Utilization of zakat as contained in the Decree of the Chairman of the National Amil
Zakat Agency Number 64 of 2019 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of
Zakat Distribution and Utilization within the National Amil Zakat Agency. performed on
the fields of:[26]
3. Health, in the form of promotive and preventive health assistance in the form of
assistance in the construction of health infrastructure. The construction of health
facilities and infrastructure in the utilization of zakat is devoted to services to the
poor.
5. Zakat reporting,
There are factors that cause people’s reluctance to pay zakat in BAZIS/LAZ, namely
religiosity factors (people feel more Afdhal give zakat directly to mustahik who are
still relatives), then followed by location factors (location/distance of BAZIS/LAZ which
is quite far from residence), service factors (BAZIS/LAZ services provided have not
been satisfactory), trust factors (lack of public trust in BAZIS/LAZ in distributing zakat to
mustahik and information, namely the management of zakat funds is managed openly
and transparently).[28]
Law No. 23 of 2011 in Chapter III regulates the collection, distribution, utilization of
zakat, and reporting. Muzakki did his own counting of his obligatory zakat property.
Even if Muzakki can’t calculate it himself, then BAZNAS can help calculate the zakat
obligations he has to pay. Article 22 of Law No. 23 of 2011 states that zakat paid through
BAZNAS, or LAZ can reduce the obligation to pay taxes from taxable income.[29] For
this reason, BAZNAS and LAZ were obliged to provide proof of zakat deposit to Muzakki.
Proof of that deposit is used as a deduction for taxable income.
The collected zakat must be distributed to the mustahik in accordance with Islamic
law, and its distribution is carried out based on a priority scale, taking into account the
principles of equality, justice and territoriality (articles 25 and 26).[29] In order for the
management of zakat infak, alms and other social funds managed by BAZNAS to be
transparent and accountable, baznas districts/cities must report the implementation of
their management to provincial baznas and local governments periodically, BAZNAS
must submit reports on their activities to the minister periodically. BAZNAS’ annual
balance sheet report is announced through print or electronic media.
4. CONCLUSION
Safe zakat management according to the provisions of the laws and regulations begins
with the collection of zakat, to determine the level of zakat that must be paid by Muzaki
to make his own calculation of his zakat obligations. After collecting, the amil zakat
committee carried out the distribution of zakat, this distribution was distributed to
Mustahik in accordance with Islamic law and was carried out based on a priority scale by
considering the principles of equality, justice, and territoriality. Then in terms of utilization
of the collected zakat, it is necessary to make optimal use without reducing its value and
usefulness in the form of productive efforts so that it is effective in achieving general
benefit. Zakat can be used for productive business in the context of handling the poor
and improving the quality of the people. And finally reporting on the implementation of
zakat management activities to baznas.
